Maki

Making that which needs making. 
Maki that which needs rolling.

The Hodler

The fields await at break of day

The yield arrives at dinner

The seasons do ever come and go

The hodler becomes a winner

What Is Important

What is important is to

Optimize for peace

Negotiate with yourself

Surrender to god

Jenna

Let your light shine where it is needed most,
The path made clear as can be.
Let your light shine on glimmering hope,
Send the shadows to flee.
Praise the sun and its bright binding,
Illuminating for all to see. 

The Quiet Nights

The quiet nights are those

like tonight without power yet

with candlelight


In the dancing shadows hide

glimpses and glows of 

true sight


Moon Cakes after Moon Cakes

The cake after the moon brings back the memories of the moon cake.

The Library's Call

Not the books, but the knowledge

Hidden between pages and within words

Voices of the Past speak and listen do they

The Wandering find a new light to brave.

Cat does not forget

Catalina does not forget

her favourite toy to pet.

A little mouse on string

A jump pounce and spring.


My Shelf

Does the name inspire function or the use beget a name?


My bookshelf is not tall. 
It is wide. 

It is a TV shelf without a TV (a shelf).
It is a shelf with books (a bookshelf).

A TV shelf makes a good bookshelf, too.
The shelf is just a shelf until I imagine what might it carry.


Lantern Poem (Oculus Launchpad Week 3)

(crossposted from the Oculus Launchpad Blog!)

Development on Lanterns will be slow this month, but I expect to catch up in August.

This week I've written the poem that will play out at the beginning of each chapter.

Lanterns

In the dusk of Autumn night,
The pale white moon glows ever bright.
Lantern flames begin to light;
Spirits visit and alight.

River

Trouble brews at the ford,
Catching us from moving foward.
A slicing wind strikes aboard.
Dying flames require ward


Flight

O lanterns won’t you float along?
Your kindled flames will crackle strong.
Lift our Spirits up on high,
To their homes in the sky.
